004 - DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess: Sniff, Marcelle, Sniff!

Juanita's Mix 096 with Kia @kia-sydney

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. easily distracted, busy bee, passionate, nomadic, pensive.. :)

Q. What was your last memorable club night in NYC?
A. nowadays nonstop in may was epic.. that room is honestly the dream in the right context. the lighting and sound is so on point and the energy during my set time was so infectious (I played 3.30-6am before the legend PLO man). also special shout-out to groovy groovy which i played in july :) DIY parties are always extra special when done right

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. this is a very honest/ sombre personal diary I’ve been compiling all year. it’s almost for me the musical embodiment of an infinite plane ride.. watching the sun rise and then set and then rise again. also an ode to all the new & old people that were in my life this year.

this year brought lots of purgatory moments, lots of solo transit.. times of isolation and change, also new friends, positive growth, and people coming into my life… so I guess it’s supposed to represent the ups and downs, change and the journey,

I was struggling to finish the mix and it was sitting at 80% complete for the last little while but I feel like the current situation in Palestine </3 really inspired the missing pieces of the mix. for me, I use music and storytelling as an outlet for frustration and emotion generally. lots of old classics in this and pensive moments.. hope the listeners can feel some of that emotion through listening too..

Juanita's Mix 100 with Ciel @ciel_dj

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. a music maker with too much sincerity and a passion for sampling, film, and leftist politics

Q. What drew you to the music scene in the beginning and where do you hope to see it in the future?
A. Looking back at my life, I think everything from my birth led me on this path towards music. It was my first love. But as an only child, my experience with music growing up was always very solitary. I yearned to be part of a community radio station with Iikeminded music nerds, and it was working for a radio station eventually during my undergraduate that brought me toward DJing and rave culture. Back then I never thought I could do this full time, but once I got the chance to make a living doing this, I realized the scene was far from perfect, in fact it's very exploitative. I hope in the future we can find a way to fairly compensate music makers for the incredible gift of music they bestow upon the world, without becoming beholden to corrupt corporate & military interests. Artists can be hyper individualistic and self-interested, and I hope we can get better at looking out for each other instead of just our own paycheques.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I wanted to present a different side of myself to international audiences on such a wonderful mix platform. Perhaps people outside of my home city of Toronto are less familiar with my downtempo sets, but it's been a significant part of my wheelhouse for years, and have gained even wider affection from me since I started doing a downtempo party in Toronto last year. Like I always say, 80-100bpm is the most natural tempo for extended human body movements. I also liked the idea of doing a mix that doesn't build in a predictable way, instead it waxes and wanes like the natural rhythm of life. So many of my favourite mixes build and release tension in a way that's very satisfying to listen to, the sounds intensify to a frenzy before disintegrating into nothingness. I wanted to play with that rise and fall and mix downtempo and dub with double time d&b in a non-linear way that is evocative of our most precious memories and tells stories we've only seen in dreams. Downtempo and dub also seemed like the perfect genres to play in the 100th mix for Juanita's, and in the lead up to my fav April holiday. :) I hope the listeners enjoy it.

collecting dust vol. 1

artist: @ok_leave
location: montreal, canada

about this mix: In the winter I take long walks at night. On those walks I like to listen to music, breathe in the cold air, draw smiley faces in the snow that’s collecting on cars, and let my mind wander. I think this mix is what I’d like to hear on one of those walks.

about this artist: I really love idm and always have. I think it’s because that genre’s values best match what I prioritise as a dj/human: emotion, introspection, and beauty. I like to think I try to build all my sets/mixes in the likeness of a good idm track - a puzzle that comes together piece by piece and builds you a world you never knew you needed to see. 

track list: i love to share tracks, but i prefer for people to write me if they want track ids. les connect thru da music !

Underground Love Affair 010 - Liv K

Artist: @fieldnote
Pronouns: he/they
Location: Montréal, QC

About the Mix: 

My parents took me on my first camping trip when I was 3 years old. It wasn’t until I was 30 that I attended my first camping festival. Three weeks after that I attended my second camping festival, Bohême Système, where I played and recorded this mix.

I grew up in a rural place and spent a lot of time in nature. My personal connection to nature was one of few things (along with music) that felt truly genuine to me before I fully embraced my queerness. That impacted the way I approached playing and the mix that resulted in really felt like me at my fullest. I've been sharing it around privately, but when Iris asked me to make a mix for ULA something clicked and releasing this just felt right.

This mix is from 2023. Bohême Système didn’t happen in its regular sense in 2024, but I hear that they will be back in full force for 2025!

Underground Love Affair 011 - Field Note @ Bohême Système

@jiodub live at @outracena

Excited to welcome our good friend from across the pond, a selector's selector and legend of Dublin, Jio. Here he shares an opening set from Outra Cena in 2024, opening for RAMZI. It's a masterclass in range and pacing, perfect for soundtracking these first days of spring. 

Interview to come soon, but some words from Mr. Jio himself: 

"I just really feel I have the most to say when playing slower tempos and sort of having fun with layering melody and getting to be as eclectic as possible, as opposed to being sort of stylized. This mix is very stylistically all over the place, but I guess it's trying to find balance and beauty within all of that."

"Irish people have a conspiracy theory that the company that owns Guinness, Diageo, constructed [splitting the G] during COVID. Guinness is obviously very difficult to drink during COVID because you need pubs open, which they weren't. It was all takeaway. So what we said was that they came up with that as sort of an excuse, because you end up drinking the pint twice as fast, and you end up drinking a lot more. But unfortunately, the Brits were at it again, and London basically popularized it globally. And they, as you may have experienced from being there before, have the worst [pints] in the world, almost. It's very, very bad. And it seems quite hilarious that they're getting obsessed over a game and they don't even have the proper pint of liquid in their hand."

"I do feel that this idea of Irishness is something that prevails… it’s about being sort of humble, incredibly self-deprecating, but very welcoming… And it's something that I even find myself and Emma export a lot when we go abroad, you know? That kind of way, and how we interact and deal with people just naturally. People are like, oh, wow, people are usually a bit more closed and stuff. It's just not something that we ever consider. You know what I mean? It's just part of the way that we live every day here."
